I made my own scratch built quad copter and it is very stable when flown in stabilised mode. Behaves as anyone would expect. Stays put when you don't touch it and can have a fair turn of speed when flown aggressively.
I have been going around in circl

Well, we have APM2 Purple Board on a Turnigy quadcopter frame. The problem is when I try to pull an analog output LOW, instead of LOW it gives SQUARE wave; but I don't have a problem with pulling the pin high. This problem is occurred with
Good day,The optical flow sensor document describes the setup for the APM2 but I have an APM2.5.How do I connect MISO, MOSI and SCLK to the APM2.5? I assume the analog connection remains the same.Thank youRandy

I've tried to setup my APM2 to use in flight fine tuning as described here.
I've picked CH6_RATE_KP from dropdown, set Min as "0,000" and Max as "0,500". I've also set CH6 as a POT3 on my 9x radio.
The problem is that this Min and Max is not scaled to

Well, I got to thinking about the Variable Pitch quad problem. I don't really have time to work on a project like this right now but I thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else was interested. A small hydraulic motor and pump could be u

Can anyone tell me how the mission planner works.
Does it need to be running and connected to the Internet whilst in flight or do you program the way points in at home or on the ground before flight.
Also is it possible to edit and add way points in

I've build several DJI crafts, 2 quads and a hex.
I picked up another DJI Quad with the motors, props, ESCs with the intention to try with APM2.5.
So I have it all wired up. Since the DJI ESC do not have a BEC, I added another just to power eve

Is there any way to turn only part of the equipment and perform individual tests.
Example.
Connect only the APM2 and verify that their outputs are working.
